Day of Reconciliation Brunch!

A sprinkle of whimsy, a dash of fantasy and a load of memories all make for the perfect Day of Reconciliation here in South Africa...... 16th December is remembered.....



Detail of the Christmas Tablecloth from Germany....





















Detail of the Christmas Cookie Jar Carousel....







My garland brought back by my dear friend Sharon after her year's stint in Germany....










And on the Solomon Menu!



It's Christmas, filled with tradition, time to bring out the vintage pieces....lace....mismatched silver....and china!
Fittingly, this is Paragon,...Fantasy design!

  5. What a lovely table! I must confess I had not heard of this special day in South Africa, but reconciliation is certainly something to celebrate. I really love how the fresh cherries pick up the deep red of the roses on that beautiful china. It reminds me of one of my mother's china patterns, with the gray/silver stems and leaves.
